The dance floor got kicking early, with plenty of activities to keep everyone engaged throughout the evening.

The property itself was a photographer's dream – cornhole tournaments, oversized Connect Four matches, and a firepit perfect for s'more making created countless candid moments. The gorgeous property featured a serene pond that provided stunning backdrop options for romantic portraits, while the DJ kept the energy flowing with music that brought everyone together on the dance floor.

Located down a long dirt road, this intimate wedding venue offered the perfect rustic setting for Erik and Careesa's love story.
